Three Intel senior executives to retire amid manufacturing shake up
SAN FRANCISCO: Three senior executives in
Intel
's manufacturing operations are set to retire, Intel told Reuters on Thursday, as new CEO Lip-Bu Tan implements sweeping change to resuscitate the struggling U.S. chipmaker.
Intel told staff on Tuesday that corporate vice presidents in the technology development group, Kaizad Mistry and Ryan Russell, would retire, as would Gary Patton, corporate vice president at its Design Technology Platform organization and a former IBM executive.
Intel also discussed changes to the technology development group, which is responsible for creating manufacturing processes, said two people briefed on the matter. The chipmaker plans to reduce its manufacturing capacity planning team and cut a portion of its engineering team, the people said.
Intel declined to comment on the changes.
Manufacturing operations are led by former Micron Technology executive Naga Chandrasekaran, who was hired about a year ago by then-CEO Pat Gelsinger.
Chandrasekaran's responsibility expanded in March as he took over technology development and manufacturing. He has since reorganized staff under him, including layoffs as part of global cutbacks.
When Intel announced its quarterly financial results last week, CEO Tan, who assumed the role in March, set a goal of slashing the chipmaker's workforce to 75,000 people by year-end, a reduction of around 22%. Intel also vowed to take a more disciplined approach to manufacturing investment.
Intel said its next-generation 14A manufacturing process depends on securing a new, significant customer, otherwise it could suspend or terminate development.
"We're developing Intel 14A ... from the ground up in close partnership with large external customers," Tan said in a memo released with the financial results. "Going forward, our investment in Intel 14A will be based on confirmed customer commitments."
Tan also told investors that Intel's 18A process could only generate a reasonable return if it is used for in-house products. Tan has debated whether to stop offering 18A technology to external customers to focus on 14A, Reuters reported in July.
Intel plans to ramp to high-volume manufacturing its Panther Lake PC chips this year using its 18A manufacturing process.

Tesla shareholders sue company and CEO Elon Musk over Robotaxi claims
Representative image Elon Musk and Tesla are facing a lawsuit from the shareholders of the electric vehicle-making company. In the lawsuit, shareholders accused the EV maker and its CEO of securities fraud, alleging that the company concealed significant safety risks associated with its self-driving vehicles, including the Robotaxi . According to a report by the news agency Reuters, the proposed class action lawsuit was filed in the federal court of Austin, Texas. It follows Tesla's first public test of its robotaxis in late June, which reportedly showed the vehicles speeding, braking abruptly, driving over curbs, entering incorrect lanes, and dropping off passengers in the middle of multi-lane roads. What Tesla shareholders said about the company's Robotaxi service As per the Reuters report, Tesla shareholders have alleged that the company exaggerated the capabilities of its autonomous driving technology, thereby overstating its business outlook and inflating its stock value. However, the company's stock declined by 6.1% across two consecutive trading sessions following the start of the test. The lawsuit aims to recover unspecified damages for investors who held shares between April 19, 2023, and June 22, 2025, Reuters added. The lawsuit comes after Musk teased the launch of Tesla's robotaxi service in San Francisco last week. The service's expected expansion will follow a limited pilot in Austin, Texas, where a small fleet of vehicles started operating within a geofenced area. In San Francisco, the initial operational zone is expected to cover the broader Bay Area. Select Tesla owners have received early invitations, and the launch has reportedly also been moved up. Expansion plans for this service even include states like Nevada, Arizona, and Florida, but broader deployment depends on obtaining regulatory approvals. In California, Tesla has yet to complete the permit process required for full driverless services, with state agencies emphasising safety evaluations. The service is said to be introduced on an invite-only basis that will allow Tesla to manage safety, collect data, and meet compliance standards. This phased approach reflects the company's cautious strategy amid regulatory and technical challenges. iOS 26 Public Beta Is Here: Apple's Biggest Redesign Since iOS 7 AI Masterclass for Students.

'Crushing Family Budgets': Trump's Tariffs Push Everyday Costs Higher For Americans
Last Updated: NY Governor Kathy Hochul further said Trump's tariffs were nothing but a disguised tax that was burdening hardworking families and filling the pockets of billionaires. US lawmakers hit out at US President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on dozens of economies, including allies and rivals, as domestic businesses say the swarm of new import taxes is driving up costs and making business planning more difficult. Sharing a video on X, New York Governor Kathy Hochul said, 'Trump's tariffs are jacking up prices and crushing family budgets. In New York, we're putting money back where it belongs: your pocket." 'How do you spell tariff. TAX. It's nothing other than a disguised tax. And who do we do that with? One of our greatest allies, people that we know as our friends and neighbours. The cost of everything is going to go up – everything. And all the hard-earned work you do to bring home that paycheck, less and less to buy the groceries you need." Trump's tariffs are jacking up prices and crushing family New York, we're putting money back where it belongs: your pocket. — Governor Kathy Hochul (@GovKathyHochul) August 5, 2025 Hochul further said Trump's tariffs were more concerned about 'lining the pockets of billionaires." She said her team has worked hard to put $5,000 back into the pockets of hardworking families to show that 'we are ready to fight back." The tariffs have impacted the domestic services sector, which accounts for two-thirds of total US economic activity. Business activity unexpectedly flatlined in July with little change in orders and a further weakening in employment, according to Reuters, although input costs rose the most in nearly three years. Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna pointed out on X, 'Americans are most stressed about grocery prices. Yet tomatoes at Mario's grocery store in Vegas have gone up from $1.19 a pound to $1.99 because of our tariffs on tomatoes from Mexico!" Americans are most stressed about grocery prices. Yet tomatoes at Mario's grocery store in Vegas have gone up from $1.19 a pound to $1.99 because of our tariffs on tomatoes from Mexico. RT if you think we should repeal those tomato tariffs! — Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) August 5, 2025 'Trump's tariffs are hiking your prices at the grocery store so he can pay for his tax cuts for billionaires. That's exactly what Trump wants, and it's despicable. He's hurting you to help his billionaire buddies," wrote Chuck Schumer, Senate Democratic leader on Monday. Trump's Tariffs On India Meanwhile, Trump on Tuesday threatened the increase the 25% tariffs on India 'very substantially" over the next 24 hours, in view of New Delhi's continued purchases of Russian oil. He also said a 'zero tariff" offer for imports of US goods into India was not good enough, alleging that India was 'fuelling the war" in Ukraine. 'They're fuelling the war machine, and if they're going to do that, then I'm not going to be happy," he told CNBC. Trump's latest comment followed a similar threat on Monday, which prompted India's Foreign Ministry to say the country was being unfairly singled out over its purchases of Russian oil. Trump's ally and former presidential rival, Nikki Haley, cautioned India against Russian oil purchase, but also highlighted China for doing the same. In the most pointed Republican criticism yet of Donald Trump's escalating trade stance toward New Delhi, Haley said, 'India should not be buying oil from Russia. But China, an adversary and the number one buyer of Russian and Iranian oil, got a 90-day tariff pause." Nikki Haley, who has long positioned herself as both hawkish on Beijing and a proponent of India's strategic rise, added, 'Don't give China a pass and burn a relationship with a strong ally like India." view comments Location : New York, United States of America (USA) First Published: August 05, 2025, 23:50 IST News world 'Crushing Family Budgets': Trump's Tariffs Push Everyday Costs Higher For Americans Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Nayara Energy trade: Russia-backed refinery exports first gasoline shipment after EU sanctions; diesel shipment to follow
Amid tightening international scrutiny, Russian-linked Indian refiner Nayara Energy has exported its first gasoline shipment since the European Union imposed sanctions on the company on July 18, Reuters reported citing four sources and LSEG data. According to shipping sources and LSEG data, the vessel Tempest Dream departed on Monday with around 43,000 metric tons (over 363,000 barrels) of gasoline and is en route to Sohar in Oman. The tanker itself had been sanctioned earlier by the UK in June. The identity of the buyer remains unconfirmed. A second EU-sanctioned vessel, Sard, is currently docked at Nayara's Vadinar port in western India and is expected to lift a similar quantity of diesel, sources said. The shipments come amid operational challenges at Nayara's 400,000-barrel-per-day refinery, which has scaled back crude processing after difficulties in sourcing ships and marketing fuel from the sanctioned port, Reuters reported earlier. To counter export constraints, Nayara — which operates over 6,600 fuel outlets across India — has turned to domestic sales through state-owned fuel retailers, industry officials said. In a recent move, the company used the vessel Leruo to transfer 43,000 tons of diesel to Mundra port, according to trade sources and ship-tracking firm Kpler. Both Leruo and Sard are among the vessels blacklisted by the EU in recent months. Nayara Energy is backed by Russia's Rosneft and a consortium of global investors.
